My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
Explanation:
The poet is travelling on a horse, and it's little now. The poet studies the mind of his little horse and assumes that it must think it is pretty strange for them to be stopping in the middle of nowhere, with no one in sight, with not even a farmhouse close by. The poet and his little horse are very cold between the woods and a frozen lake. Also, he thinks it to be the darkest evening of the year.
